The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has just awarded the 2015 Ford Mustang with its highest honor – a five-star rating. It achieved the same score for both front and side impact protection, as well as rollover protection.
It also comes packed with the latest and most modern of active (semi-autonomous) and passive safety features. Stuff like adaptive cruise control, cross-traffic alert system and the new inflatable airbag restraint design add to the final score too.
This is even more incentive to want a Mustang, really, as it already looked the part, reportedly drove the part and now we know it’s safe too.
It’s the embodiment of compromise-free modern motoring at its best. You still get the Mustang image, though, but with fewer associated drawbacks than ever. Plus, the same “safety sells” slogan that the industry has gone by for more than a decade is still valid, so this news has the potential to boost sales too.
